As reported by SK POP, Tik Tok user @professorneil discussed Nara Smith’s lifestyle specifically commenting on a video she uploaded online where she was seen making cereal from scratch.
“They’re not better than us because they can make their children cereal from scratch. They’re better than us because they are so wealthy and well-off that they have nothing more important to worry about. These videos [Nara Smith’s cereals TikTok video] are not instructional. They are maybe aspirational but they are always performative. This is not real labor, this is symbolic labor. It is nothing more than social signaling that this woman and her family belong to the leisure class”, he said.
He continued: “Her value is instead in her ability to perform the role of trophy wife and to be the ultimate realization and personification of her husband’s socioeconomic prowess”.
